You're having epiphanies, but they're recurring every few weeks....

I just had another one thanks to your help.
Why not combine my STP Krispy Kreme idea from the other thread you pointed out to my idea on this thread and that will really get the TN HP out of there.

And let us not forget that if you suffer from CRS, epiphanies are a daily result.

I don't think any MINIs should be turned away. And I bet the people who drive those promotional MINIs would have way more fun at MOTD than their usual stops!

Update! I found a Kraft contact form that seems to work - I sent it and got an autoresponse that it was received. I updated the links on the first post with the new URL. Also here: http://kraftfoods.custhelp.com/cgi-b...p_sid=f6HoAPIi

Let'em fly! They're gonna wonder what hit'em...

Well if they look at the time stamp they will wonder why someone was up at 3:45am sending them a message.

I just got a very different response!

Thank you for visiting our http://www.kraftfoods.com/ website and for your interest in our promotions and offers.

Due to the popularity of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles and the amount of miles the vehicles must cover in a year, it is difficult to fulfill many requests. However, all requests for the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile can be submitted in writing to the Oscar Mayer Mobile Marketing Department. There are three ways in which to submit a request:

By Mail:
Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Department
910 Mayer Ave.
Madison, WI 53704

By Fax:
Attn: Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Department
(608) 242-6108
By Email: wmrequest@kraft.com

All requests must include the event name, the date and time of the event, city & state, and a detailed description of the event.

The Mobile Marketing Department will review all requests and determine whether we are able to fulfill them. Requestors will be notified with a decision at least 30 days prior to the event.

Good luck on your search!
So I'm going to email a request to the wmrequest@kraft.com address and see what happens...

The person working at Oscar Mayer that gave Mishka that response should be fired, that was not a marketing friendly response.
The correct response was more like the one that BlimeyCabrio got.

Because even if you don't want to participate in our little event you still don't want to alienate those potential customers.

I mean I'm sure the good people at SPAM wouldn't turn us down..



Unfortunately it's not a MINI.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to take their response. What got me was that they wish me well in my advertising endeavors. I wasn't trying to advertise anything. I was wanting to give them the opportunity to advertise their products.

Or my house. I had their mac & cheese for supper tonight, as a matter of fact.


BTW, email sent to the new address.

I didn't realize how many commercial MINI's were out there until I started looking for them.

Just off the top of my head there are the following that are confirmed by pictures:
  1. Delta Air Lines
  2. Red Bull
  3. Dibs Ice Cream
  4. Oscar Mayer Weiner
  5. Poinsett Homes

There's a classic Mini around here advertising for Nationwide, but it's not been treated well, so I don't think it'd be a good addition. Poor abused Mini.
